Biography:
Born March 30th, 1972 in Tokyo, Japan. Dan graduated with B.A. in Area Studies (East Asia) at the University of Minnesota.

Since then, he has worked with both US and Japanese companies and individual creators on various anime and manga projects, not only as a translator, but as a creative and cultural consultant.

Some of Dan's major projects include Gasaraki, Love Hina, Nadesico, Space Battleship Yamato 2199, and the new Evangelion theatrical remakes in the field of anime. Dan has supplied translations for Excel Saga, Black Lagoon, Initial D and many other titles. He has a firm background in doujinshi and has written numerous articles regarding censorship issues facing anime, manga, and video games in Japan today.
